Hello librate user, schizophrenia is chronic mental illness it require. Medicine should not be stop without consulting psychiatrist.

You can be helped by cognitive behavioural therapy if drugs are not working.
Take regular sessions with some psychologist if you can otherwise you can also go for self cbt .it takes 6 to 8 months to be normal if you put sincere and persistent effort.

Dear Srinivas,
No tablet is safe, whether short term or long term. Doctors prescribe tablets for getting the benefit out of it. They know the short and long term side effect and they will be monitoring benefit vs side effect continuously. You need to go for regular follow up consultations.

But, are all these medications needed that too at lower levels of therapeutic range is a question only your mother's psychiatrist can answer as each patient varies. As such nothing to worry. But you can still consider second opinion about the choice of drugs and their dosages.

Aripiprazole is known to cause impulse control disorder and hypersexuality problems in some rare patients. My suggestion is to meet with a psychiatrist and switch to another antipsychotic medication. Thee are many alternative anti-psychotic medications available and one of them can certainly help you without any severe adverse effects.
